Although Latvians never really have been empire builders (unless we count the Duke of Courland), they have often referred to "colonies" of their kith and kin outside of Latvia. When Latvian newspapers published in North America before World War II would report on the activities of various enclaves, they often headlined stories with "Iz kolōnijām" — "From the Colonies." So it is only fitting that we adopt the same rubric for our selection of community guides.
These guides are by no means comprehensive, but provide overviews of various locations where Latvians have settled outside the homeland. If you don't see your community listed, let us know and we will be happy to work with you to add it. Contact us for more information.
In creating and updating these guides, we gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Secretariat of the Special Assignments Minister for Social Integration Affairs of the Republic of Latvia.
